Wat Khili, Luang Prabang, Laos
Vat Khili located at Ban Khili in Luang Prabang, Laos.
Luang Prabang Wat Khili
Wat Khili is one of the smaller wats and it’s located at the north of the old city adjacent to the entry to Wat Xieng Thong. Built in 1773 by a prince (Chao Kham Sattha) from a neighbouring province, Xieng Kouang, it was a gift to cement relationships between Luang Prabang and Xieng Kouang.
Luang Prabang Wat Pa Khe
Wat Pha Khe is located just behind the shops on the main street and at the base of a long steep stair leading up Mount Phousi.Built around 1851, it’s one of the tallest temples with four large, inward leaning columns supporting the front portico adding to the impression of height.

Luang Prabang, Laos - Monks passing Wat Sene Souk
Wat Sene Souk Haram or literally Temple of 100000 treasures.
I stayed on the top floor of Villa Sene Souk, directly opposite the Wat (Temple)
Every morning at about 5.00 am the drums would waken the Monks (and me).
Shortly after sunrise the Monks would begin their circuit, walking the streets of the old section of Luang Prabang accepting alms from the people who gathered along the route.
On one morning there was a large group of tourists who were also offering alms to the Monks.
The Monks were usually followed by several dogs, hotly contesting any food that was dropped.
The view from my balcony was a highlight of my stay in Luang Prabang

Luang Prabang Wat Manoram
Wat Manorom stands just outside the old city walls. It seems that this was the site of a very early Khmer temple which predated the establishment of the Lao kingdom in 1353. There is some evidence that the original Lao King, Fa Ngum, erected a temple on the site and a later temple was erected around 1375 by his son.
Luang Prabang Wat Visoun
Wat Visoun was built for King Visounnarat around 1512. The original massive timber temple was destroyed by a marauding gang in 1887. The current temple built around 1898 has few of the striking features of the original, except for the carved entry doors which were saved from the original and reinstalled in its replacement.

Luang Prabang Wat Mahathat
Wat Mahathat is probably the best preserved of the wats in Luang Prabang. The original 1548 wat was destroyed in a typhoon and the present temple was built in 1910 and renovated in 1963 and 1991. However, the large almost black stupa at the rear of the temple does date from that earlier period.
